A contemporary film reference, 23 July 2006
10/10
Author: Juan Carlos Donoso from Quito, Ecuador

I'm from Ecuador, Quito. This movie is just one of the best movies ever made in Latin America and for sure in the world. This is not a problem about "what is more intellectual or what is more Hollywood style" this movie is simply a tribute of creativity and cinematography. The camera work, the acting way, all the aesthetic decisions are coherent with the script and with our social reality. In my point of view, this is a non common way to say very political things and find a very personal route in movie language.

I'm sure this movie is NOW a reference for young filmmakers and for all artists in the ambient.
